I'm hoping the James Trafford rumours are not with the intetion to bring him in as a starter, rather as a back up for 1, 2 maybe even 3 years. Goalkeeping is a mentality game above all else, and it's why we see goalkeepers getting better with age and seldom do we see a young, early twenties top level goalkeeper. Their progression is very different to that of an outfield player. Trafford having a good season in the Championship at Burnley tells me almost nothing other than that he's a talented goalkeeper; mentality-wise, the step up to the premier league is big, the step up to being the number 1 at Newcastle United is absolutely enormous. I'd be concerned if he was our number 1 at this time.

Think somewhere between £15-20m would be a good fee for us and for Leeds.

If they get CL football then it's paid off, though they're going to be doing it without a highly paid player if they do.

But he can’t really close down very well, he’s not athletic.

Wasn't he linked with Everton in the past?

If we qualify for the CL I think we will be signing one or two.

I pretty much know already. He'd suit a Moyes team basically. Physical and direct, not too much intricate passing.

Don’t think any club should be looking to snap up Dyche tbf. He’s awful.

Ipswich's version of this on Saturday was class like

Looks like the castore shirt from couple season ago tbh. Just higher quality

Monumental stupidity if that happens - he's built that side and clearly they play for him. Norwich didn't buy him anyone of PL standard.

10 million imo.

Only the 1 year left so maybe lower than that be happy with 10m+ based on this and his lack of game time this season.

Someone reporting on our player wanting to stay? Did anyone pay them big money?

How much would we get? Reckon 15m is fair.

Already repayed massively, but apart from gambling he seems a top top professional.

I'm keen to build on what we have. We need more purples.

Just do this in b&W, piece o' piss.

I’d actually be interested to see how he’d look in the PL when I’m freed from the need to watch him for my own team.

I know he doesn't want to leave, but a move to Leeds would probably be the next best thing for a home bird like Longstaff. It's barely two hours up the road. He could commute if he really wanted to stay put here.

If we qualify for the CL I am almost certain we keep all our purples. Not only do they want to play in the CL, but they want to play for a team that can do well in the CL. We can go a long way in it.

Chelsea are a difficult team to predict. They haven't played well this season, but they still have around the same points as us. It's a squad full of expensive players, I am always wary of teams like that, because on the day everything can just click and what looks like a win ends up being a draw, or something we don't even want to contemplate. I think we'll win, but it's a dangerous fixture.

Depends if they make CL at the end of the day. If they don't, I think it will have been considered an expensive punt.
